Armenia

Historians assert that Jewish settlement in Armenia dates back to the destruction of the First Temple. Currently, the local Jewish population consists primarily of Ashkenazi Jews who arrived during the Soviet era. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the majority of Armenian Jews emigrated to Israel and other nations.

The Jewish population of Armenia is almost entirely concentrated in Yerevan. The public organization "Jewish Community of Armenia" (JCA) was officially registered in 1991. The JCA conducts cultural, educational, and academic programs, organizes charitable initiatives, and distributes humanitarian aid. Furthermore, the organization actively fosters relations with the State of Israel and supports the development of Armenian-Israeli bilateral ties.
